P5/P6 Math: Figure of 2 Overlapping Triangles
2 overlapping triangles sharing the same base but with different heights shares a common overlapped area.
Such questions requires students to know that the sum of the area of both triangles will definitely be more than the actual area of the figure shown.
Such questions are common in Paper 1 of P5/P6 exam papers.
